Agile Marketing Toolkit

The simplest way to launch an online presence with speed and agility, WordPress is the world’s most popular CMS for building websites – and it’s free. It’s also responsive by default – completely adaptive to your technology needs.

“But what about themeforest, JB? Viper Chill, Cool Kid Site Name and Me-Too Mommy Blah blog say it’s the best!” They’re wrong…and not only are they wrong, they know it – but if themeforest offers me cash to promote them, even though I don’t use them – I suppose this page could be bought for the price irony?

Oh, and one more thing about the forest…if you monetize your site, and any of it is hidden, make sure you’re aware of the over $3k you’ll be paying for a developer’s license. StudioPress, on the other hand, gives you SEO optimized themes that are 100% responsive, have a much cleaner framework and will cost you under $100. One time. With no mystery monetization fees.

Please tell me you were already cognizant of how to find the URL to this constantly improving giant killer of IBM and Adobe acquisition hangovers – completely free with any types of big data, user demographics, behavioral segments and website intelligence events. If the link above should ever break, just…um…Google it?

For those just getting started and not reading another blogger’s Aweber worship – affiliate link included – Mailchimp is by far the best bang for your buck. Everything is customizable, and everything is drag-and-drop.

So…it’s agile in its concept alone. It’s also very cost-effective. In fact, it’s free until you reach 2,000 subscribers!
